Count only the Yes's

1-5 Your a pretty average and upstanding citizen

5-10 You really need to leave those 'Age of Empires' evenings in and go follow the white rabbit

10-15 Well, it's time you started to have a look at yourself

15-20 Jesus! What a fuckin moron you are!

20-25 Well, what a sad sack , eh?

5

4, and what does 'yes' mean to the 1st question?

5, if you think "living with grandparents" qualifies under numero uno

Less of a geek than I thought (but wait til we get to the "spaz test" )

Hmm, good question.

Well it means, living with your parents or living alone.

No girlfriend/boyfriend etc....

im not a geek by a long shot. 4 yeahs.

I got a 3. Though I don't think living on my own is geeky, it's a swinging bachelorette pad baybee!

Not really.

4. and i don't understand the last one, exactly. there's a great divide between people who only watch foreign films with subtitles and those who only watch dubbed films because they don't want to read the screen. i don't know many people who will watch a foreign film with neither unless they know the language!

4, to say i consider myself to be a geekish person thats not a bad score.

what was your score Rian?, you never told us

Well.

I can fix my own computer

I SOMETIMES wear combat gear. Not very often though.

People phone me to programme a DVD-recorder. BUT! so far I haven't been able to help anyone. I can't programme my own, so why the fuck does people call ME?

I have been paintballing ONCE. And it was a long time ago. 20 years or so.

I'll give myself 3.5 :)

whats geeky about paintballing?

:\ohwell:

do you spend hours on end in a music band's unofficial website forum?

This should be a question.

I'm lucky that I know nobody with a DVD recorder...

2 weeks ago, a client phoned me. She was 87, and had just bought a DVD-recorder. And asked me to help her install it.

In a nice way, I told her to fuck off!

i'm a cool f*cking geek, ok!!!

7- no need for a psychiatrist just yet...

9... But I like the "Age of Empires" evenings. And I only see white rabbits when i'm drunk...

I scored a 10, but I already knew I was a geek. Although I don't really buy that it's "in" to be kind of geeky. I guess it only applies to those who are geeky and attractive.
